Why doesn't Apple design an operating system for PC?
billy_gates:
well let me ask you this... Would you be OK with the very limited ATI and NVIDIA only support for an X86 OSX. You may have one sound card choice. Sound Blaster Live for Mac. Etc. Etc. Essectially Macs are PC's with different Mobos and CPU's. However would you and the general population accept that OSX for PC would only support very limited hardware in the name of stability. I personally would. But I think it would make Apple look cheap. "Why didn't you add support for Random Video Card #4583498?" and although Apple would have a genuine answer, the people would still bitch and moan. Making Apple seem like a cheap company who doesn't work hard. I would personally love OSX for PC, but I don't think it would help Apple.

Not on topic, but I was wondering about graphic cards. Does the Mac support other graphic cards than nVIDIA and ATI?

In the new macs I have never seen any others, so OSX probably does not.

With AMD making a 64 bit desktop processor are the x86 and the ppc getting any closer in architecture?
